Is it weird that i talk to my pets more articulately than i sometimes talk to actual people?

Like, i’ll use full sentences, explain my day, ask them about theirs (even though they can’t answer), but then someone asks me ‘how are you?’ and i just grunt ‘good.’ am i the only one who does this?

Just fyi - this looks like a bot account.

  Exactly. The dude was literally in all of the last ~5 comment sections that I’ve been in. Together with another dude (whose nickname I forgot), who also chose a famous person’s name, and just replaced a few letters in it.

Less weird than people “having a conversation” with chatbots. At least animals actually have a soul. They might not fully understand what you say, but they can hear the tone of your voice and perhaps, maybe, detect facial expressions (maybe).

I mean I don’t understand what meows mean, but its always lovely. The different pitchs/tones of the meows almost feels human, so lovely.

You’re not alone. I have very detailed convos with my cats all the time. I think its easier because you can say whatever you want and they won’t judge.

It’s almost like its own little mini catharsis sometimes.

Improve your people’s social skills. Honestly, I don’t think you’re rare by nowadays standards. You basic relate to animals more and are losing your humanity.

Yes this is weird, but it’s OK to be weird. Keep doing it if you enjoy it. Anyone who tells you to stop can fuck themselves.
